There is no doubt that the slurs in A1, CJ, CK and EL are supposed to encompass the irregular group of small notes, filling the 2nd half of each of these bars. However, it was not written accurately enough in the manuscripts, as a result of which it is only some of the slurs that actually span from the first to the last note (b. 59 in A1 and 57 in CJ and CK). The remaining ones are shorter, sometimes only one note shorter, but in the extreme case – b. 58 in CJ – the slur encompasses only 12 out of 35 semiquavers. We reproduce these inaccuracies only in the graphic transcriptions of the particular sources.
